Pros

The company has a really good training programme, They will teach you a lot and give you the skills you need to land a well paying job. They put you working with clients such as Bank of Ireland and Citygroup

Cons

Their courses are extremely intense. You will be working overtime during training and won't get paid for it. You could be doing up to 4 hours overtime each day. The salary is very poor, 20k per annum during training, 29k per annum during your first year after training, 32k per annum during your second year. Training typically takes about 10 weeks.

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
